Pigeon Man of Lincoln Square

Friends of Joseph Zeman, best-known as the Pigeon Man of Lincoln Square, memorialized him with poetry and bird feeding. Zeman was killed Dec. 18 when a van pulling out of a parking lot only miles from the hydrant struck Zeman, who had just turned 77, as he was shuffling down the sidewalk along Devon Avenue, near McCormick Boulevard

Nikola Tesla loved pigeons. They honor him sitting on his power transmission lines.

Some times we can't see the little things that others do that make a difference because we are to busy worry about ourselves only.

In some cultures, it's good luck to feed pigeons {rock doves}.

This is beautiful. Most people in the world can be so selfish. But people like him thinks of others and even the living things before him self. God bless him. His beautiful soul is in peace in Heaven. :)
